| totem arro or rainmaker or von schweikert vr1 I have owned the NAD C320BEE for 2 years and felt that the best bookshelf matching it with it was the NHT SB2 ($400 list) or you could always upgrade to the NHT SB3 ($600 list). I have never cared much for the totem line (after extensive listeinin... | |
| Buget system idea? One additional point ... I thought that you were looking to scrap your current set-up and I pointed you in the way of a tube amp and high efficiency speakers. They have their own magic just like the Maggies do. If you do decide to keep your Maggie... | |
| Buget system idea? Mab:I have listed a system of new components, as I am extremely hesitant to purchase any components used. With that said, I have owned the components below for a while and they sound the best of any system that I have owned in the past 35 years. W... | |
| Checking out a co. called Better Cables I have owned a pair of their Silver Serpent interconnects (silver/copper hybrid) for 2 years, that I have used between my CD player and Amplifier and they perform wonderfully. They are actually pretty good cables for $90 ... a noticeably better pe... | |
| Man, am i losing my hearing? Slappy:Yo dude, I went through the same type of hearing problem when I was in my late 20's/early thirties. It seemed to be at its worst whenever dipthongs were used in a sentence (essentially, diphthongs are vowel combinations that can be both dif... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers Newbee:You are correct, the manual warns against treating the tube pins. I purchased the Prima Luna Prologue Two about 4 months ago and I have not been happier with any audio puchase in 35 years of spending 1/2 of my paycheck on audio stuff (I eve... | |
| Sugar in the tank? In general, you should be fine ... just don't drive the Onkyo 502 and its rather minor 55 wpc (at best) to the clipping (distortion) point. As HT receivers go, the basic Onkyo is a well made, well engineered little receiver (I owned its great gran... | |
| Speaker compairson? Jon:Without having heard either speaker that you are comparing, I don't quite understand why you would give up speakers that ... (the Micro's) are by far the best sounding speakers I've ever had in my home system. All the rationalizations nothwith... | |
| I'm looking for inexpensive bookshelf speakers. Eben:The following speakers will serve you extremely well with both your current Denon receiver or if/when you upgrade to a more expensively priced amplifier.1. NHT SB2 ($400 list)2. Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 ($350 list)Both speakers sound differentl... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Hi Van:I have been using the IXOS SILVER GAMMA 1001 interconnect in one form or another for the last 3 or 4 years and have had great success with it. I prefer sound that it is on the warm side with a reasonable amount of detail and nuance and the ... | |
| Epos Vs. Neat Hi Loose:The rear port on the EPOS 12.2 needs space to breathe, otherwise its magic is lost. They also need to be on stands at a proper height. The EPOS 12.2 are fine for nearfield listening.I owned a pair of EPOS 11 that never sounded as wonderfu... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Hi Van:Does moving the speakers out into the room (a meter or so from the wall) improve things any? The Ruarks are designed to operate ideally out in the room. The bass may be sounding smeared because the speakers are too close to the wall. Altern... | |
| Is this ludicrous or not? Teajay:So you know already you are not crazy. Without getting distracted by all the obvious stuff that you mentioned in your post ($40K amps, removing the "veil", etc.), the reviewer, in this case, is acting like a dope ... with a capital "D" plai... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Van:My hunch is that your bass definition issues may lie with the Ruark Epilogue speakers. These speakers are mini monitors, designed to work in small rooms, that only go down to 55 hz and need to be out in the room to be able to go that far down.... | |
| Covers of Woody Guthie - "this Land is Your Land" BD ...Many of the versions of "This Land is Your Land" come from the folk music world and were made during the 60's/Vietnam War protest era. If you appreciate and like that genre of music, then Pete Seeger's version from "The Essential Pete Seeger... |
